Florida Citrus Sports sells the naming rights to Camping World, a Kentucky RV dealer, in a multi-year sponsorship deal for an undisclosed amount. The deal is met with public complaints about allowing a private organization (Florida Citrus Sports) to sell the rights to a publicly owned stadium without public input and without disclosing the compensation. The city of Orlando had granted Florida Citrus Sports the option to sell the rights after it contributed $6 million toward the $207 million renovation in 2014 and agreed to a new 12-year lease.

Following the five-year sponsorship deal from the Florida Citrus Commission to increase their sponsorship from $50,000 to $250,000 annually for the naming rights to the Tangerine Bowl (game), the city renames the stadium, as it no longer has a connection to the game's new name, the Florida Citrus Bowl.
